minai segments more cylindrical; verticils longer than the segments. 

 Head brownish black throughout. 



Mesonotal praescutum shiny brownish black; tuberculate pits 

 lacking; pseudosutural foveae distinct but not conspicuous against 

 the dark background;remainder of mesonotum and pleura shiny dark 

 brown. Haltères pale yellow. Legs with the coxae and trochanters 

 brownish testaceous; remainder of the legs light brown, the terminal 

 segments darker; tibial spurs distinct, setiferous basally. Wings with 

 a faint brownish tinge, with a sparse darker brown pattern; stigma 

 pale brown; small brown spots at origin of Rs, at Sc2, along the cord 

 and outer end of cell ist M2 at the ends of the Anal veins, that at 

 the znd Anal larger; veins darker brown. Distinct macrotrichiae in 

 the outer ends of cells R2, R3, Rb, 2nd Mo and M3. Venation : Se 

 ending before the fork of Rs, Sc2 some distance from the tip of 

 Sci, as the genus r lacking; cell M\ lacking; basai deflection of 

 Cm just before thefork of M. 



Abdomen dark brown, including the hypopygium. 



Hab. Natal. 



Holotype, tf, Nongoma, Zululand, September 15, 1922 (J. C. 

 Faure). 



Type in the collection of the writer. 



This interesting fly, the southernmost described member of the 

 genus, is named in honor of the collector, Professor J. C. Faure. 

 The agreement of the species with Adelphomyia is sufficiently close, 

 the most important différence being in the proximal position of the 

 basai deflection of Cu\, in the other species of the genus this being 

 placed beneath and usually near midlength of cell ist M2. From the 

 only other described Ethiopan species of Adelphomyia, A. ugandae 

 Riedel (British East Africa), the présent fly differs in the smaller 

 size and position of the basai deflection of Cui.
